Cron Jobs and PHP

[Sjoerd]

I have a PHP script and i want to let it run every day automaticly by using the cron jobs. But when i enter the location of the .php file as command, i only receive errors.

How can i let the script run without errors?

if you have a look at the following topic, you'll find an example of running a php script through cron:

Hello,

Just enter:
/usr/local/bin/php /home/username/path/to/file.phpas the command. A plain php script doesn't know how to execute itself unless it has the shebang line at the top (#!/usr/local/bin/php)
